What is the empirical formula for a compound containing 50.0% carbon and 50.0% hydrogen?
Convert grams to moles for C and H.
Balance the equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O.
Start by balancing the oxygen first.
What is the empirical formula of a compound containing 40% sulfur and 60% oxygen?
Convert mass percentages to moles.
True or False: The molecular formula can be the same as the empirical formula.
Consider the simplest forms.
A sample contains 2.00 g of a compound with 48.37% carbon, 7.42% hydrogen, and 44.21% oxygen. Determine the empirical and molecular formulas assuming a molar mass of 88.00 g/mol.
Remember to convert masses to moles and simplify.
